This hospital is not doing harm by refusing to perform the procedure. Her life is not in danger from not having the procedure done at the time of the birth of her child. It was suggested by her doctor that she have it done because with her condition "any future pregnancies could be fatal." She can have it done at another hospital in the future, or have her baby at another hospital (there are several nearby) where doctors will do the procedure after she gives birth. Or, she can litigate and hope for intervention, but that doesn't look promising.
She's had the condition for ten years. She became pregnant three years ago, and it was considered a high risk pregnancy then because of her condition. She didn't have a tubal ligation done after that pregnancy.
